On Monday I went to the Hayward gallery and saw an exhibition of crotcheted coral, designed to help bring awareness to the fast vanishing Australian coral reefs. Some pieces were incredibly lifelike and beautiful.

Two examples ofthe delicacy of some of the pieces in the exhibition

All were lovely, imaginitive. The whole exhibition had a hue rang in colour from right pinks and oranges to whites to darker colours. The great thing about the exhibition was how imaginitive it was.The coral had not just been crocheted out of wool but different materials such as:

Recycled materials            

Beads           

The other imaginitive thing was the layout, the exhibits were not simply in glass cases in corners, most of them, excluding two, there was no glass covering but there were many wall exhibits and event a few ceiling ones.

      

It was an amazing exhibition and I strongly recomend it.
